SimTrace: Grounded Multimodal User Trajectories Generation for Online User Modeling
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Virtual clients offer a cost-effective approach to support applications such as A/B testing, recommender system development, and interface evaluation. However, building them requires access to large-scale, semantically faithful, fine-grained online user trajectories. These data are difficult to obtain because proprietary logs are subject to privacy restrictions and small businesses often lack sufficient traffic. Consequently, existing public datasets either abstract away fine-grained user interaction details or preserve rich context but remain pl
